What is happening at the farm?
Hello beautiful community! It was a very exciting week! We set-up the spring nursery and moved in the tomatoes, peppers and eggplants seedlings. The tomatoes will grow for another two weeks before we plant them in the greenhouse. We also started seeding other crops, including onions, leeks, flowers, and seedlings for the plant sale. More to come next week regarding what will be available for YOUR gardens in May!

What is available this week?
We still have a few weeks left of micro-greens production, including pea, sunflower and radish sprouts. You can also anticipate more spinach and salad mix this week, as well as rainbow carrots. We are also very excited about Sempels locally creamed honey with cinnamon. It is perfect for dipping apples, spreading on toast or mixing in porridge! You can find these items in our farmstore and online for CSA members to add to their weekly share.
